If you mount it solidly to the frame and you keep the hitch weight up in the 12-15% range when the rack is loaded, I wouldn't worry too much.
The problems usually arise when someone starts with maybe 12% hitch weight and then they load up the back end resulting in something on the order of 8% and it becomes a carnival ride going down the road.
The bigger the trailer, the more likely you can absorb a couple hundred pounds on the stern while keeping a good hitch weight.
